Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Concord, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 52 years with little to no issues. Over the last 3 years, the homeowners have noticed water entering the basement during rain storms and snow melting. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing an UltraSump, 8 feet of WaterGuard, and an IceGuard. 

Our production team installed the UltraSump and WaterGuard against the basement wall and successfully stopped the water from collecting in the basement. 

Homeowners in Pepperell, Massachusetts noticed a few months ago that water would infiltrate the basement. This was odd for them, because they already had a sump pump installed. As time went on, water would enter the foundation from all angles during heavy remains and snow melt off. This caused concern because the basement was used for storage space. With the problem worsening, they wanted a company that they could trust to get the job done right.

After reaching out to our team, a Design Specialist went out to the home to conduct a free home inspection. We recommended replacing the sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump system, as well as perimeter drainage. This system captures water along the entire border of the foundation and filters it to the pump, where it is then expelled out of the home through an exterior discharge line. Our three-pump system ensures that water will always be properly pumped out of the home. One pump handles normal water levels at 1/3 horsepower. The second pump is activated when water levels rise, such as heavy rains or snow melting as mentioned earlier. Finally, a battery-powered back up pump operates during loss of power.

With this waterproofing system in place, these homeowners are guaranteed to have a dry basement. They now have peace of mind that the belongings in their storage space are safe.

In the before photo, the homeowner in Pepperell, MA faced significant water intrusion in their finished basement due to cold joint issues. As you can see, this can compromise the space's usability. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions tackled this challenge by installing the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, ensuring easy evacuation of incoming water. Paired with our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard discharge line systems, we effectively ensured a dry, protected basement. Notice in the after photo – the space is now equipped for year-round use.

A homeowner in Hollis, New Hampshire, had reached out to EFS about finding a solution to prevent water from seeping into the basement. The homeowners have dealt with this issue for a while and were tired of cleaning up the mess so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the basement to find a solution to the water penetration. Our Design Specialist recommended installing a full-perimeter drianage system around the basement to prevent further penetration. 

This homeowner in Hollis, New Hampshire had purchased their 1830s home a couple of months ago. During the home inspection, they noticed an odor in the basement. More recently they found out that the odor in the basement is because of water entering the basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home.

Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team arrived at the home and installed an Auxilary wall, 109 ft of Water Guard, 2 Super Sumps, and a Sani Dry into the basement.
